Extension of the FreeOSEK RTOS for Asymmetric Multiprocessor Systems

This paper presents a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) implementation. This RTOS is based on the OSEK-OS 2.2.3 standard, which will be extended to support an Asymmetric Multiprocessor System (AMP). The term asymmetric means that the microprocessors included in the system have heterogeneous architectures (a subgroup of identical processors may exist but not the whole amount of them are identical) and each processor executes an instance of the...
